Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton harshly criticized right-wing commentator Tucker Carlson following his recent decision to interview Russian president Vladimir Putin.
What Happened: Clinton, in an interview with MSNBC on Thursday, referred to Carlson as a “useful idiot.”
Carlson, who was once a critic of Putin, defended his decision to interview the Russian leader by claiming that no Western journalist had made the effort. However, this assertion was disputed by the Kremlin’s spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, who stated that they had received numerous requests from major Western media outlets.
